This is a truly great clip, my friends, truly great, because it involves Karl Rove behaving foolishly. He was holding some sort of discussion panel thing this morning with former Democratic Sen. George Mitchell — in the communist port town of San Francisco. “Oh boy!” is right. First some crazy drunk lady walks on stage and tries to handcuff Rove, and as soon as she makes her move, he SWATS her hands away like a baby while staring straight ahead. And then another hippie goes nuts in the audience. Finally, Rove says some whiny thing, pretending to be offended, and literally everyone laughs at him and Mitchell is like, “shutup, fraud.” All in all a fine session of political discourse. [YouTube, ABC 7]
Let the round ups begin!!!!
Throw em in the rail cars.
Oh hell, Rove got pwn3d by Mitchell right there. Not just the “hearing you lecture about negative campaigning” bit, but the sneaky Dorothy reference as well, which the audience probably missed but which I’m sure Rove noticed.
Arghh. Does this mean Karl is going to be out in the Tenderloin tonight trolling for ass? I hope he has already fled my lovely city for fear of being lynched.
That’s a pretty fancy looking hippie.
Have I ever said how much I LOVE my CRAZY WINGNUT city? Because if not, then ya… Ya I do.
Damn it!
I thought the chick would have Tased Rove, or at least pepper sprayed him!
Rove ’sleeps’ submerged in a tub of rendered liar fat.
Biased ABC 7 completely cut out the part where all the non-hippie women threw their panties and boxers/briefs/depends onto the stage in appreciation of American Hero Karl Rove.
Everything I want to say about Rove right now would require that I be arrested.
Silly hippie! Cuff the perp first, then launch into manifesto.
cranchop: ABC7 is in the tank.
That half-assed bit of protest theatre was weak. If the guy is as evil as we all know him to be, just put some lead in his skull and be done with it.
…I would tell you all, what I would do if could get that close to Karl Rove. But I’m already on enough federal watch lists.
Hands off the MC Rove, ya filthy hippie!
Since he’s in San Fran, where are the local contingent on non-heterosexuals to really give him the business?
These moments are why I love living in Communist San Francisco.
And, oh yeah, I also voted this morning to name the sewage plant after W.
…will Dick Cheney have such iron clad security?!
shortsshortsshorts: Did you get bailed out already?
american mutt: …we missed you at the meeting this week! Next week its in my mothers basement, don’t worry tin-foil hats will be provided!
Kinda off topic, but does every local ABC affiliate have the same graphics package? It looks just like our local, except the channel number’s different.
I got my mojo workin’… and apparently it works on you, Karl.
Ah, that’s the San Francisco kind of crazy that I know and love, and am scared shitless about at night.
Seriously, I’ve seen some fucked up shit in that city.
Good for Mitchell, eh? And it was fun to watch “Turd Blossom” complain about a toilet joke.
Speaking of which, I wish we could name our sewage treatment plant after W. because I live in Richmond and our sewage treatment plant is old and leaky and especially foul. As for Rove, rather than molesting him, I would leave him to Leatherface. In his many movies, L. has shown his inability to tell long pig from short pig.
I’m old enough to remember Gomer Pyle yellin “Citizen’s arreyest! Citizen’s arreyest!” How I was introduced to the concept. But it’s never been particularly effective when I’ve tried it…

The RNC spent 150K for Palin’s outfits and accessories? Does she get to keep the clothes after nov 4th?
Joking aside . . .
George Mitchell is a wonderful man. His efforts in Northern Ireland were heroic and he proved himself a real warrior again when he undertook a tour of Ireland, holding town hall meetings, after the Good Friday Agreement. Funny thing: no Irish politician had the balls to do the same.
I had the privilege of meeting him back then and he is the finest example of American tolerant, intelligent, honest values I have ever known. He’s so inspiring. Go raibh míle maith agat, a dhuine uasail.
Words cannot express the greatness of his contribution to peace and civility.
AngryBlakGuy: Is it alright if I bring a guest? An ambassador from Kenya. Nice guy. Met him hiding behind wooden crates in an alley. Keeps talking about “welfare for all” and “everything going as planned”.
Never take a knife to a gunfight. And don’t take handcuffs to a necktie party. C’mon people, focus!!
Turdblossom doesn’t give a shit so long as the big fat check for his big fat appearance clears.
My question is: WTF is Herr Karl even doing in San Francisco in the first place? Hippies must be trying to arrest him every 50 yards from the moment his plane touches the ground.
Outstando: confidence man confit.
Too bad the Panthers aren’t still around. I would have loved to have seen a bunch of guys in berets and black coats come over from Oakland and shove him in the trunk of an Impala at gunpoint.
StrangelyBrown: What’s he doing in SF? Trolling for ass, of course! If you dress up in military duds, I hear you even get the Super Secret Special Press Pass to the White House.
Fly-over Correspondent: Don’t need no MFin Panthers. Just take a bag of donuts and lure Rove into a limo, hit the Bay Bridge and push him out the door at Merritt Park. Then let nature take its course!
AnglRdr: I believe the O and O’s have the same package. And it’s ugly…80s TV ugly.
I. Love. Her!
who the hell knew Kerry had such a sophisticated
French sense of humor!
Questions I would ask him would include, “Do you think your mom killed herself because she knew what kind of person you’d become?” and “The gay man who raised you - how often did he diddle you and how did that affect your politics?”
Yeah, I’m hateful sometimes, I can live with it.
MarSF: he went directly to the local dungeon for some more humiliation
Perhaps Palin can share some of her new fasion swag with old Karl-especially the lacey stuff.
SayItWithWookies: Surprisingly, yes the mayor did a bailout (Gavin Newsom), BUT we expect minimal economic challenges compared to the rest of yooos and we have what are expected to be the three richest counties in the U.S. after Greenwich explodes.
Don’t fret over Karl. His bitch Hannity will provide necessary comfort - the good ol’ republican way (think CT marriage).
shortsshortsshorts: Okay, have it your way. I just figured you’da been there throwing something at Karl too. Preferably a doberman and a war crimes subpoena.
Sooooo, On Hannity and Colmes, Michael Steele and Sean the Douche were talking about Ayers and Wright and Rezko. Right? Of course. Well then, Colmes comes in and mentions McCain’s ties to some lobbyist for Saddam Hussein, as well as Palin and the Alaskan secessionists. Colmes asks Steele if those guilt by associations bother him and he flatly said, “No.” When asked why, he said it was because it was Colmes asking, AND, because Barack Obama hasn’t been forthcoming enough on his ‘associations’. When it was relayed to Steele, by Colmes, that neither McCain or Palin have been forthcoming, his answer was silence. So. You know. There’s your fucking GOP losers in a nutshell. Hypocrisy at all costs.
In summation, suck my fucking dick, every last one of you ignorant wingnuts. Except obviously, for Bachmann, Palin, and Poopenfeifer. Because you three twatwaffles frighten me, and I don’t want you near my precious nudity.
Ye ole`service of process shuffle….go turd blossom…
wheelie: Were it not for his age, Mitchell would be a perfect nominee for the Supreme Court. McClinton could have put him on the Court had Bubba not viewed federal court nominations as no more than political fluff. I’d like to snark Yale, but I know the problem lay with Clinton, with all the moral depth of a baking sheet.
SayItWithWookies: If only, my friends. If only.
But look at how Sarah did last Thursday? Heh? HEH??????
Nathalie08: That explains the red leather jacket. Republicans are kinky like that.
I hate Karl Rove as much as the next guy, if not more so, no wait probably more so, but seriously he should have kicked her in the chest and sent her flying into the orchestra pit. No matter what your political persuasion, do NOT let a schizophrenic individual get within distance to do you harm, if you can avoid it somehow.
Beatmiks, next time a blow dart. It’s natural, biodegradeable, homwopathic and effective … if accompamied with a heavy mallet.
New Palin scandal involving trips and travel for Trig and Track…or something.

Mr Blifil: Yeah, like, he didn’t even get up and put up his dukes. Pussy!!!
stew: It would be nice if that went anywhere, but it will probably be snuffed with the power of a thousand Amazons.
shortsshortsshorts: esp. since there are no legal violations, or ethical, or moral, or anything there like that there.
Did no one get the joke regarding whether John McCain wore boxers or briefs? His reply, “Depends!” You know, like the adult diapers?
Geez, do I hafta explain EVERYTHING?
wheelie: ah bless you. i had the privilege of meeting him once too. he does america proud.
a quality i hope soon to see in our fair snow princess / ferret / bunny.
Haha - McCain agrees with Murtha.

Watch Cindy roll her eyes in disgust.
Talking Points Memo has another hilarious angle, this time as a girl behind him, to his left, reacts with horror:
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/238916.php
dilhavarti: If only that were enough for the GOP to make a fucking difference. Ted Stevens will award her for this.
stew: If it goes anywhere, it’ll be a lot of disingenuous tsk-tsking about how The Liberals are picking on poor beleaguered Sarah Palin ’cause she was just trying to juggle the kids and work like any hockey mom in Amurrica and oh btw LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!1!!!1. I really hope this doesn’t get picked up; the massive protect-poor-palin thing we’ve seen whenever anyone criticizes anything involving her family might give Palin-McCain juuuust the uptick of energy they need in these last few days. Remember that week w/ the prego daughter and the seccessionist husband and the prop baby and the cetera — that week that was a huge downturn for Barry? Concerted ignoring, everyone! Mum’s the word!
Karl Rove isn’t fit to tongue the shmutz off my taint. Maybe someone elses, but not mine.
Mr Blifil: The only thing that Rove could kick is the bucket. She is a bit crazy, he is truly evil and will roast in hell, slowly turning on a spit shoved up his well used and completely wrecked rectum.
magic titty: He is starting to sound more confused/incoherent/stupid thatn Bush. I didn’t think that was possible.
shortsshortsshorts: You and me both. Tony Bennett’s getting cued up right now.
Seriously, though, there are still mortgage bankers?
Solid Gold Jim.
BobLoblawLawBlog: Actually, there are. This happened at a meeting of the National Association of Mortgage Bankers and Lenders of America. Which explains why Rove was there.
BobLoblawLawBlog: It’s best to see mortgage bankers as hobo-paltry desperates wearing better looking clothes than any one of us at any given moment. It’s time to look down on them for this. Ego-agility.
I miss home so much sometimes.
Remember that Rove’s Raison D’etre is vengence for having been beat up by a JFK fan girl back in the early sixties. (see Lee Davidson, “Triumph of the underdog,” Deseret News, Dec. 8, 2002)
You suppose that was the same girl? Come back for more whalin’ on da MC Rovertron?
magic titty: “I couldn’t disagree with more with old Abe Lincoln who said you can fool some Pennsylvanians once, but you can fool them again more, or I couldn’t agree more.” - mcCain
That lying miscreant Rove, has become a caricature of himself. I hear that Yale has hired him to teach Demagoguery in the Drama Department.
shortsshortsshorts: Can’t I just look down on them for being giant douchebags in general?
magic titty: View of small stroke in process.
MarSF: He IS the ass!
The Kerry joke has made my week. Who knew he had a sense of humor at all?
hockeymom: Didn’t look like a hippie to me, either.
We’re not fans of Rove, but, people: That is NOT the way to execute a protest. All it did was make the protestors look stupid, and make Rove look classy. Yes, classy. Your target ends up looking classy if your protest is stupid–and this “protest” was stupid, on all levels. That’s just not the way to do it.
Why is that fat worthless turbotwat not launched into the heart of the sun yet?
Rove might have very well been planning an Oxycontin-fueled trip to the boy-dellos of Santo Domingo with his pal Rush ‘Deaf Boy’ Limbaugh if not for the fact there might be someone there to arrest him as well;)
